Werribee to screen seasonal cinema

A much-loved Christmas movie about a human raised at the North Pole will be shown at a public greenspace in Werribee especially for the festive season.

Families and friends in Werribee can enjoy a free Christmas film on the big screen this summer. A touring outdoor cinema programme called “Movies in the Park” will be presenting the festive comedy classic “Elf” from director Jon Favreau and is inviting residents from around the suburb to attend.

The film stars Will Ferrell as Buddy the Elf with a supporting cast that includes Bob Newhart, Zooey Deschanel, James Caan, Mary Steenburgen and Ed Asner among others. Organisers of cinematic experiences sometimes work with poster printing services that can produce largescale ads featuring the film’s title and key characters.

Those coming down to enjoy the film can bring a blanket or chairs to sit on and a picnic. However, local dining options will also be in reach, and free popcorn is offered to all. The Christmas film screening is a special edition of the series an includes festive family fun, more entertainment and a visit from Santa Claus.

Elf will now be shown on the big outdoor screen at Wyndham Park on Saturday, December 19. The event will take place at the main oval between 5 pm and 8 pm and the park is sited on Watton Street in Werribee.
